Now, we are going to the core part of what this book covers, that is, building a cluster with HA. Do you have everything you need now? Here is a list for you to go over quickly:
The following is the hardware checklist:
Two servers installed with the Proxmox server.
Shared storage that is accessible to all servers as quorum and VM storage. Such storage can be built using NAS4free or other alternatives; here, I have configured a NAS4free server with the IP address as

The following is the software checklist:
Proxmox servers are configured with the network settings mentioned before and should be able to ping each other
Bonding devices Bond0 and Bond1 should be well configured
To minimize the number of physical machines needed, I will demonstrate building up a two-node cluster for you. However, please note that the two-node cluster should...
